@emperorhistorian1: The Roman Empire conquered Britain for many reasons but one was to stop the so called barbarians and their barbarian practises but the people of Ancient Rome had their own barbarian practices. Making the whole thing rather ironic. A tale from the Roman conquest of Britain #romanempire #englishhistory #ancientrome #conquest #HistoryTime
It was an odd double standard. Barbarians are strange. Druids sacrifice people. They worship strange gods. They need to be civilised. So they kill them and desecrate their groves. Romans then watched said barbarians fight one another to remind themselves they were civilised. It’s “people as things.” Oh. Boudicca was condemned for crucifying Romans. Where did she learn how to do that?

Ritual human sacrifice is not the same thing as making someone a warrior to fight for entertainment. It’s a completely different thing

wait! hold up! coloseum fights were MOSTLY never till death, ONLY exceptions were death penalty (given rarely as slaves>corpses) or accidents and infections, other than that there was not much death in the arena

Only like 1 in 10 gladiator fights ended in death. Maybe less actually. It was like the WWE of today except it was more deadly. It didn’t pay well for trained gladiators to die frequently

It’s DIFFERENT! It’s impious to sacrifice humans, but the games were just for FUN!

that was a common thing the Romans like to do, is to say that such and such people perform human sacrifice. which may have been occasionally true, and something that occasionally happen. but they would show up and crucify how the population, and through the other half into slavery.

They went to steal the tin. The only known large source of tin available near the Empire is England. There is a small source in Turkey and the only other known source was China.

There isn't really solid evidence that they did do human sacrifice, it's more likely if was propaganda that it is real. Read blood and mistletoe, very interesting

Sacrifice involves religion btw. Is america performing sacrifices because of the death penalty? Is Russia commiting ritual sacrifices in their war with Ukraine? This argument is so dumb I swear to god.
